Christian County, Kentucky. Turner Publ. Co., Paducah, KY (available
from the author at 1110 Hewitt St., Huntsville, AL 35816; also available
through Christian County Genealogical Society, Hopkinsville, KY).
On p. 28 is a biographical sketch of Agnes ADAMS, granddaughter of our
subjects. The parts referring to our subjects reads:

...James Adams, Sr., was an early settler in Lincoln Co.,
KY. He was among those inhabitants of Lincoln County who signed a
Petition to the General Assembly of Virginia, dated Sept. 26, 1785, asking
that two distinct counties be laid off... The request was granted.
Madison and Mercer Counties were established... James Adams,
Sr. and family moved to Hopkins County, the Weir's Creek area, around 1810.
His will is recorded in Hopkins County Court, February, 1815. Listed
as heirs were his wife, Agnes; their daughters: Caty Bone,
Jinny,
Polly
Davis; their sons: Andrew, Wilson,
Thomas,
Matthew,
Robert,
Jesse,
and James, Jr.; also listed were the heirs of their deceased son,
Alexander.

7. In a database at WorldConnect, William Esparza quotes
the following:

The will of James Adams was dated 14 Oct. 1814, and was
probated in Hopkins Co., KY in 1815. (Will Book "A", 1807-1820) and mentions
daughters, Caty Bone, Poly Davis, and Jenny; sons,
Thomas,
James,
Jr., Andrew, Wilson, Matthew,
Robert,
Alexander,
and Jesse; and his "beloved wife,
Agnes." Tradition
tells us there were probably at least four more sons, three were slain
by Indians. It is said that two sons,
Thomas and another whose
name has been forgotten, were playing in the woods near their home when
they were taken by Indians. Thomas finally managed to escape
but the other son refused to leave his captors. The boy had become
accustomed to the Indians and thought of his own people as strangers.
It is said Thomas never recovered from the experience and ever after
hated all Indians.

Abbreviations: W = West Fork of the
Red River; LR = Little River,
but this is obviously an error, either by the lister, the county clerk,
or the transcriber

*The county was divided into just two districts:
from 1804 to 1806, into North and South Districts; and from 1807 to 1809,
into East and West Districts. The change tells us that James was
in the southeast quadrant of early Christian County, which later became
the southwest quadrant of Todd Co., when it was formed in 1820. This
location is confirmed by the location of the West Fork of the Red River
in today's southwestern Todd Co.

The James in 1804 looks like James Jr.; James Jr. is on the tax list from
1804-1809.

James ADAMS, Sr., is now in Hopkins Co., KY.
